The semi-finals are confirmed at Players Championship 6 with a titanic tussle between Luke Humphries and Dirk van Duijvenbode set to headline after two contrasting displays.
Humphries saw off Ross Smith 6-4 with 'Smudger' averaging 106 but losing and hitting a 161 and missing the bull next leg for a 164 to send it all the way. While Van Duijvenbode who has a poor record against Michael van Gerwen denied MVG a first ProTour of the season once more in a 6-2 win.
In the other side of the draw, Ryan Searle will aim to add a second of the season, he faces Mike de Decker looking for his first overall.

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit. There is a glimmer of hope though as folk do now seem to be pushing back especially as Starmergeddon is waking a lot more people up.Mysstree12-09-2024
- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
